I wash all my tins and jars etc. It only takes a couple of seconds to run them under the tap. Our wheelie bin goes out the back one Wednesday and the recycling goes out the front on the other Wednesday. That's a bit of a pain as I have to traipse the blue tin bag through the house and the blue box for the glass. I keep those in my backyard until collecting day and usually they are wet and trail water through the house. The cardboard I store in the house and usually try and put all the smaller ones, squashed flat into a bigger one
